Sorel is seeking $15,000 in damages for negligence, assault and battery due to the “emotional distress, humiliation, mental anguish, medical care and treatment, the loss of ability to earn money and the loss of capacity for enjoyment of life” he suffered. James’ lawyers had no comment.

Sorel told police that he waited with the SUV for 30 minutes while James chatted with friends. He gave the key to the cashier and James reportedly began yelling, “where are my f—ing keys?” and other profanities.
